Connecting Lisa Brennan-Jobs and Simone Biles



Lisa Brennan-Jobs
In the 2015 film ''Steve Jobs'', directed by Danny Boyle, Brennan-Jobs is portrayed at different ages by Perla Haney-Jardine, Ripley Sobo, and Makenzie Moss. '' Steve Jobs'' screenwriter Aaron Sorkin said that he discussed the screenplay with Brennan-Jobs in advance and that she is the "heroine of the film".

Aaron Sorkin
In 2002, Sorkin criticized NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw's television special about a day in the life of a president, "The Bush White House: Inside the Real West Wing", comparing it to the act of sending a valentine to President George W. Bush instead of real news reporting. '' The West Wing'' aired on the same network, and so at the request of NBC's Entertainment President Jeff Zucker, Sorkin apologized, but later said, "there should be a difference between what NBC News does and what ''The West Wing'' TV series does."

Zucker worked with fellow NBC News alum, former ''Today'' host Katie Couric, producing her daytime talk show for Disney-ABC Domestic Television, '' Katie''.

She was originally put on the team to compete on only two events—vault and floor, her strongest ones—but was later named to compete as an all-around gymnast alongside Simone Biles and Kyla Ross after performing extremely well during podium trainings. Teammate Brenna Dowell was named as an alternate instead, as there could only be three gymnasts competing on each event.
